If there is no sufficient provision in this Division for dealing with a transitional matter, the Governor may make regulations prescribing matters —

required to be prescribed for the purpose of dealing with the transitional matter; or

necessary or convenient to be prescribed for the purpose of dealing with the transitional matter.

Transitional regulations may provide that specified provisions of this Act —

apply with specified modifications to or in relation to a specified matter.

If transitional regulations provide that a specified state of affairs is taken to have existed, or not to have existed, on and from a day that is earlier than publication day for the transitional regulations but not earlier than transition day, the transitional regulations have effect according to their terms.

If transitional regulations contain a provision referred to in subsection (4), the provision does not operate so as to —

affect in a manner prejudicial to a person (other than the State or an authority of the State) the rights of that person existing before publication day for the transitional regulations; or

impose liabilities on a person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of an act done or omission made before publication day for the transitional regulations.
